Christmas 2013

We are so blessed with jobs that allowed us to be off of school and work for two weeks together as a family. We all loved every minute of being home together and getting to go visit family. J and K love talking about Baby Jesus and looked forward to celebrating his birthday with a birthday cake for breakfast. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

 Amy likes to photbomb

 Grandma Carol and Poppop got everyone matching Charlie Brown pajamas, so of course we had to take a big photo

Merry Christmas!

Jacob's 3rd Birthday

Jacob's 3rd birthday was a pirate adventure! We moved into our new house just a week before the party. We were so thankful to have plenty of space for everyone! Jacob loves all things pirates right now. Any given day you will catch him acting like a pirate. He has his pirate costume on at some point most days. He loved all the Jake and the Neverland pirate things we had at the party. All his cousins enjoyed dressing up like pirates too. I didn't even get my camera out, all these pictures are from my phone.

 Jacob was spying everything

His birthday was November 8th, I'm just trying to catch up on blogging :)

Pictures from November and December

I take a lot of pictures. Sometimes I don't want to forget the moment, other times my boys are just too cute :)

Kaleb got a pirate costume then snuggled up with a Christmas book that Gramps voice reads to him

The boys got into the rice treasure and made a MESS, but they had a blast

Jacob has the longest tongue

cousins playing the piano

Kaleb was so proud to try on Kylie's hair bow

they had more fun carrying the balls than playing tennis

Kylie found a "The Complete Book of Breastfeeding" book and was telling Jacob about the princess and flowers as she "read" it to him

best way to sit and watch cartoons at Nana's

their favorite spot that Buddy the Elf hid this season

two walruses in the car

Jacob was home sick and Brad took him to the store in this-sweatpants over his footie pj's, LOL

big fishies at Bass Pro Shop, the "Fishie Store" as they call it when we drive by

they rarely choose to sit together, but I captured this moment
